I also had a few bites of an apple before realizing I didn't want it.

Robbins Cookies
I made a whole batch of this (which mean a LOT of them) to make Ice Cream Sandwiches with later. I did want to keep a good few for just Ty and I to eat. They're soooo good and I haven't enjoyed them in quite awhile. Since I had quite a few calories left at the end of the day, I figured I'd be okay to indulge.
For 2 cookies: 332 Calories

Blueberry Muffin w/ Homemade Blueberry Syrup
This one of hubby's favorites and our plans were a little bit shaken up and we had to come up with a quick meal. He even made the syrup from scratch. So Yummy.

Grilled Beef Strips
Pictured is also steamed corn and green beans from Safeway, but they turned out to be very rubbery and not very good, so they didn't get eaten. (Also, is the California Sourdough bread. That definitely got eaten.) I had an Odwalla Bar to make up for the lack of calories.
515.45
Calories Burned
Calisthenics (I include some weight lifting in there) for 23.45 minutes.

Calories Burned
Remember that cake I made?
It took 3 1/2 hours to make!
I decided to check my calorie counting site to see if I might be able to subtract any calories for all that work. Sure enough, light baking (moderate to me would be more commercial baking), at my weight, burns 176 calories an hour. Holla!
For 3 1/2 hours: 617 Calories Burned
I'm really glad I could count this because I didn't have time to work out and I'm pretty sore from yesterday's calisthenics routine.

Red Robin
As I mentioned in the last post, today is Ty's birthday. So we went out for his birthday. His final decision as his restaurant of choice was Red Robin.
We love their Very Berry Raspberry Limeade.
213 Calories
I'm trying to venture outside of my normal "order-the-same-thing-every-time-I-come-here" routine. This time I went with the Blackened Chicken Burger. So, good! But also very spicy for me. I'm a pansy. It's true. You are free to mock. I had a 1/3 of the sandwich and kept the rest for later. (I hate wasting food.)
W/ the basket of fries and about 1.5 Tbsp. of ketchup
Total Calories: 673.53
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
It's hubby's birthday today! Yay!
A few months ago he stumbled upon this recipe and I promised him I would make it for his birthday.
What was I thinking?!
Certainly not that my arteries could possibly clog up just by looking at such an evil concoction. I entered the recipe into my calorie counting site (post to come on this soon) and it came to 747 calories for a slice (out of 16 servings). I took it to his work so it wouldn't just be us eating it. Not that they contributed much to our cause, only having three other people there. Though those who were present loved it and tried to justify it's possible nutrition.
I only ended up eating a half of a slice before becoming quite full and on the verge of a sugar-induced coma.
Half a slice: 373.5
You can see from the picture that the slices are really small. So it would take much to overload on calories.
Chobani Greek Yogurt
Honey flavored this time. YUM! And a slice of California Sourdough.
280 Calories
Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
And Snack sizes of Butterfinger and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

Going to the Movies snacks
Ty and I went to go see "The Last Airbender" and it's pretty much a given that if I go in saying, "This time I'm not getting popcorn," as soon as I step within those walls every ounce of willpower will vanish at the lovely scent of divine butter and popped corn. Growing up, that's just how it's always done. You watch a movie, you eat popcorn. Oh and the more butter, the better. Knowing that I have this weak spot, and knowing that we were going to a movie, I did a little caloric research to find out what I would be in for. A small popcorn is about 630 calories. I'm not down for that. So, what did I do? I took part in the time-honored tradition of sneaking in my own snacks. Cheaper and less calories.
I actually popped a bag of Movie Popcorn and put it in a ziploc bag and stuffed it into my "larger-than-life" purse. I grabbed a few other snackies and my 1.5 liter water bottle and strategically placed them in my bag. Oh yeah, it all fit. As well as my wallet. I love that bag. :)
I did eat most of the bag of popcorn (about 2.25 servings out of the 2.5 that are in one) and a handful of each of the Cookie Dough Bites.
Total damage Calories: 315.65
Compared to what it would have been with just the small bag of Theater popcorn and a soda, I think I did pretty good.
Calories Burned
My friend and I went walking around a neighborhood in Pasco. We didn't map it out, just walked until we thought we were good. Turns out we walked 2.87 miles in 52 minutes.
Calories Burned: 307 (approx.)
Then I came home and did some calisthenics to work out the other parts of my body. I did 23 minutes of regular calisthenics and a five minute stretch.
Calories Burned: 238 (approx.)
Weekly Weigh-In
Weighing in today @: 155.5 lbs.
Giving me a weight loss of 3.5 lbs for the week!
So far on my journey, I've lost 7.5 lbs in three weeks.
It really shows that this is paying off. I might have to start posting pictures of myself so I can have a visual of my progress. Already, I can see I'm a little bit smaller. Yay!
For now though, I'll just be using this cool site to imagine what I'll look like.
Hamburger on Whole Wheat
w/ a side of Mac & Cheese. Now that's American. American child maybe, but American nonetheless.
Total Calories: 874.5 (I hit the mother-load of all caloric intake. At least as far as home cookin' is concerned.)
To quote a tweet from Adam Shankman that he wrote yesterday:
"I succumbed to the caloric torture of the holiday. It was an ugly struggle. The food won."
I have no grief. Haha.
Popcorn and Fiber One bar
I was snacky since I didn't have breakfast yesterday.
Total Calories: 227.5

Chobani Greek Yogurt
(This time it was Raspberry.) And a slice of California Sourdough bread.
Total Calories: 270
Cupcakes and Grasshoppers
I had made these just for our family BBQ and I had to keep myself from divulging.
I ended up only having 1 regular sized one and 1 mini cupcake. Both with Lite Whipped Topping and sprinkles.
Total Calories: 200.18
Then I must admit that I succumbed to my craving of my favorite Keebler cookies. Grasshoppers. 4 of them in fact. I don't feel too bad though because I had plenty calories left thanks to my walk.
4 Cookies = 140 Calories
(I got this picture from a google search since I was too lazy to take one last night.)

Family BBQ
I only ended up having 1/4 of the pulled pork and bun. Pork is just not my thing.
The rest is baked Mac & Cheese, strawberry pretzel salad, and a light potato salad. My drink was just water. I'm healthy like that. Haha.
I wasn't going to count the calories for this because I would have no way of knowing for sure. However, I decided to just go ahead and give the approximate amount.
Which is: 760.46
Mozzarella Chicken
W/ Steamed Cauliflower, Carrots and Broccoli and a slice of Sun Dried Tomato and Basil bread.
Total Calories: 410

Pot Roast
I decided to go ahead and finish off the rest of the roast and potatoes. Can I just say that it's like dying and going to heaven....and then finding out they are serving Roast and Potatoes. Yay! So yummy.
Total Calories: 537
Whey Shake
And an egg, with 1/8 cup of mozzarella, salt, and pepper.
Total Calories for breakfast: 250
Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
I still had a ton of calories left and had gotten some news that was utterly depressing. So, I decided to devour my feelings in ice cream. I had a little less than two-thirds of this and couldn't eat any more.
For .9 cups = 126 Calories
Pot Roast
Hooray for hearty leftovers! I had soooo many calories left because of my workout.
Total Calories: 537
Fruit and dip
I went to a meeting last night and they had some snacks for us. I didn't too much because I still needed to eat din-din.
All I had were two pieces of apple, three grapes, one YUMMY strawberry, and about 1 1/2 tsp. of the fruit dip.
Approx. Total Calories: 39.7
FiberOne Oats & Chocolate Bar and Tiger's Milk Peanut Butter Crunch
These are actually from yesterday. I'm playing catch up.
Total Calories for both: 290
These kinda ended up being my lunch because I got really busy.
